Lady Sabine knows that laughing golden eyes alone cannot keep her safe. Lord Berg has yet to prove himself worthy of her hand, failing every secret test she has given him. She issues one last challenge to the dragon shifter. If he succeeds, he will win her love. If he fails, she will walk away from him forever.

This is the kind of short story I like. Good plot structure, believable conflict, and passionate romance; all wrapped up in a book that can easily be read as a bedtime story.

One of my favorite parts of this story is that the female characters don’t need rescuing. In this story they are strong, resourceful, and capable. It is refreshing to see women like this in stories.

The sex is varied and passionate, and often times playful. The reader can tell the characters are comfortable with each other and enjoy the other’s company.
